| 267633 | 2004-09-01 00:09:00 | So, am I right to say that if I purchase a one Video Card, one HDD, and a Sound card, then, I can purchase 3 copies of the OEM OS? | bk T (215) | ||

| 267635 | 2004-09-01 00:26:00 | To conclude, there isn't any clear definition of the term 'OEM'. It's just a matter of interpretation. And, if you know your vendor well enough, he can even sell it to you without any other purchases. It sounds like a joke. |

| 267636 | 2004-09-01 00:51:00 | Once when trying to sell one of my clients a few Windows XP Pro Upgrades that they needed for a few Win98 PC's I quoted them the Windows XP Pro Upgrade Retail box as you should. Then I found out a couple of days later that another company had sold them OEM copies, at a much cheaper rate obviously, and they did not have to buy any hardware/components! I spoke to my Microsoft contact about this and they said they know it happens but they don't really worry about it as long as the OEM software is a legal copy because they are too busy chasing people selling pirated copies. Now, if I'ed known that then I could have made the sale :( |
